Nobody can prepare for what we had to go through. You know, the first time me seeing the lads after, you know, the trophy day is we're on a plane on the way to one of our maid's funeral. I probably wasn't ready to playing the Premier League when they let me play. Seriously? I was only one year pro at that point, do you know what I mean? And then we go to the QPR game away and he throws me in. Blondie. You okay? Obviously, he couldn't get your gun clot. All three of us had a problem with size when we were young. I used to get a lot. Speak for yourself. What was it on? I was on 18 quid a week. 18 pounds? 18 pounds. So that's like, I think we know we can't live off that. you get 20% of about Martins and Spencer they've got it in a discount

yeah I've got it I've lost in there a lot you can tell I'm in there a lot

the coaches that you had then they still gave you the love for the game because it can be

quite disappointing then because most of us we've got the knockback I got it for Hibs when I was 15 it becomes disappointed but if you get these great coaches in but make you love it then they understand Hull had put the bid in and it'd been accepted how much was it 2.85 million I think and then the chairman accepted it and a member of seen in training that day, Stephen Thompson.

And he was like, oh, you're going to Hull and I was like, oh, I'm not sure.

And he was like, no, you're going to Hull.

And the world, come on, any tickets?

Nice.

After nine years, you are going to be leaving Liverpool.

That's my favourite part.

Today we are going to be interviewing the great Ernie Robertson about who his best coach was, who helped him when he needed to help most.

He's somebody again that I've got a lot of love for, a lot of time for. I'm really looking forward to this one. Him like myself, he had a lot of problems when he was younger with his height. Got a lot of problems with, oh, you're too small, you're too small. Which feels like a really bad excuse for this. And not giving people a chance, especially when you've seen what he's gone on to achieve.

Getting released from Celtic, going to Queens Park, you know, semi-pro,

working at M&S, wanting to maybe go back to university in that time when he hadn't signed pro yet,

and the decisions he had to make and what he was going for at the time. And tweet, remember that tweet he'd done about life's not something like life's not fun because he ain't got no money or something. So you want to talk about those times because he wants to play football he wants to be a footballer but he's running out of time. That's good, by the right? Very good. Smooth.

Do you see a lot of similarities between yourself, isn't it?

I think we've got a lot of the same values.

The way he speaks and things like that and the things he stands up for

are a lot of things that, you know,

I kind of believe in as well.

And, yeah, from a career perspective

in terms of our journeys are probably similar.
